Wayfaring Stranger Lyrics

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
While journeying through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
And beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed there vigils keep

I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

I'm going there to see my Mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
Well I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with ohh the blood-washed band

I'm going there to see my Saviour
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

Well I only go - going over home
Yeah only go - going over home.

While journeying through this world of woe
And there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
And beautiful fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed there vigils keep

I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

I'm going there to see my Mother
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

I want to wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that good land
Well I want to shout salvation's story
In concert with ohh the blood-washed band

I'm going there to see my Saviour
I'm going there no more to roam
I only go - going over Jordan
I only go - going over home

Well I only go - going over home
Yeah only go - going over home.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
